Reconstruction surgery is now on the schedule! May 6th!!! It will be in Spartanburg, almost an hour from my house. The surgery will be around 8:30am and will last approximately six hours. I will be there 3-4 days minimum.
Before the big day, I'll need to do a CT scan for the doctor to see my veins, although with all the radiation talk, I requested an MRI. We'll see if that can happen. And then I will have to drive up there for Pre-op the week before. Then once again the day before, so the doctor can draw all over me.
I'm so excited I could bust! (pun intended) If you're interested in the details of what they are doing, the following link shows the extent of the procedure.
